  • Mela has a lovely way of cultivating a safe space for our voices. Her ability to share tools and techniques with a heart based approach creates a welcoming environment for us to explore and grow our speaking ability from an authentic center. Our growth and the courage to speak is fostered, encouraged and nurtured! ...paired with intuitive guidance and a deep commitment to embrace and uplift women who speak.

I believe that reclaiming our own sacredness is deeply important for us all. I’m passionate about dance, and love performing and teaching throughout the Bay Area. My classes and programs weave together embodiment, sacred practice, community connection, and joy. 

Whether in the dance studio, leading dance tours to Cuba, visiting my son in NY, laughing with friends, or sitting quietly near a river with my tea in hand… I’m focused on growth and evolving within myself.

Blessings, I’m Mela Amaiya

dancer, facilitator, student and teacher

I believe that as we uplift women,
we uplift society.
— Mela Amaiya

I developed my programs to support others to create habits that are intentional, nourishing and sacred, and to support people to feel empowered in their bodies, voices and lives… because when we we reconnect to ourselves, we create a better world around us.

Dance Is Medicine

I teach Belly Dance, perform at events across the Bay Area, and offer private classes for all levels — from beginners to those training for a special performance.

I believe our bodies are portals to the Divine within.
